Marine ornamental shrimp are amongst the most heavily traded invertebrate species in the
aquarium industry. The majority of traded species are still collected from the wild, having a …

Cell death is physiologically induced by specific mediators. However, our power to trigger
the process in selected cells is quite limited. The protandric shrimp Hippolyte inermis offers a …

One of the most exceptional, loud paradigm of shape polymorphisms constitutes the “rostral
loss” condition in hippolytid shrimps. The intertidal shrimp Hippolyte sapphica includes two …

Sexual systems vary considerably among caridean shrimps and while most species are
gonochoric, others are described as sequential protandric hermaphrodites or simultaneous …

Hermaphrodite systems offer unique opportunities to study sexual differentiation, due to their
high degree of sexual plasticity and to the fact that, unlike gonochoristic systems, the …

Sequential hermaphroditism (sex change) has been reported in many decapod crustaceans,
but it has not been fully reviewed to date. In this review, I have integrated and sorted …

Diatoms are unicellular algae playing a key role as photosynthetic organisms in the world's
ocean food webs. The chemical ecology of planktonic diatoms is well documented, but few …

Squat lobsters are highly diversified and widespread decapods, of which only three species
form pelagic swarms. Here we infer the expansion of Munida gregaria populations in the …

Communication among marine organisms are generally based on production, transmission,
and interpretation of chemical cues. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can act as …

The unprecedented level of diversity recorded among the clones of self-fertilizing
gynogenetic unisexuals and self-fertilizing simultaneous hermaphrodites challenges current …
